Fashion Hacks For Everyday Emergencies

On the list of everyday emergencies, one of the fashion variety can seem like a disaster (let’s be honest). From deal-breaking blisters (thanks to your latest shoe splurge) to white lint on your black pants, a fashion fiasco is no fun. But good news: these totable, multi-purpose, MacGyver-approved tools are here to save the day! Carry them in a cute clear clutch in your bag & always be prepared.

A smile is your best accessory! If you’re on your way to a first date or job interview, make sure you do a quick once-over with floss to avoid an embarrassing kale mishap. It’s also great as a stand-in thread if your fave bracelet or necklace chain breaks.

Snag got you down? Clear nail polish will stop a snag in your tights from turning into a full-on run. This miracle worker will also prevent a lost button by keeping threads in place. The best part? Only a small dab—in each situation—will do.

More versatile than a lint roller, this double-sided superhero stands in as a quick solution to pesky lint. It also acts as an impromptu trouser hem repair kit if you’ve lost a stitch.

Brows are back in a big way. Keep yours coifed & smooth with a spritz of hairspray—just make sure you apply via your finger, not sprayed directly on your face. Hairspray is also a no-slip solution for your slips—keeping your skirts & dresses free from static cling.

There’s nothing worse than a mani that’s finally met its doom. Not only can it get rid of peeled-off polish lickety split, but it’s also handy for removing ink stains on your skin.

Mile-long lashes are always “in” (and it never hurts to touch them up!). But did you know mascara also acts like shoe polish for covering up scuffs on black shoes?

A first aid must-have, these have been coming to the rescue since boo-boos, blisters & raspberries. A grown-up tip? Wrap them around both your third & fourth toes when wearing heels—it takes pressure off the balls of your feet.

A quick way to remove errant eyebrows or for removing painful splinters, Tweezers also come in handy if you need to repair or untangle jewelry in a bind. Or even if you need to tighten your eyeglass screws.

Safety pins—a sewing kit staple—are perfect for instant hemming, repairing holes or replacing a broken zipper or button. Having one on-hand is a savior for keeping a button-up blouse from exposing your bra.
